My bonny little lass;
Right up to mine the sweet thoughts rise
That through her lashes pass.
She pats my cheek, with smile and nod,
ana softly asks docs you love God?"
And though cannot answer her,
My bonny little lass,
Que,r little questions quantity stir
The ripping words tnat pass:
rs God a Quaker? cause you know,
lie thce's and thous the verses so."
She holds her head against my heart,
My bonny lrttle lass;
Her eyelids droop, her tired lips rests,
Her thoughts to dreaInland pass;
While bending down 10 kiss that curl,
hear her whisper. Mothers girl!'

We've got a girl up in our country
said James Farwell, of Sierra valley, at
the Grand hotel to a San Francisco Ex-
aminer reporter, that discounts the
world. Amt another one like her any
where. Make a good catch, too, for
some fellow, only he scould have plenty
OF hustle to him, else he'd get laid out.
She's a ripper. Runs two ranches and
makes barrel of money.
'1 on see, she is a girl who is alone IN
the world. Two or three years ago her
only relative, q brother. died, and con.
sequcntly she had to run the property,

can yok ke up the steers and plow as much

fences, pitch hay, or take her place with

Miss Callahan has gone into the cat.
tie business good deal lately. 1t is only
a few days ago since she sold forty-siX
becves in one lot to James Miller for

shrewd on trade, all have to say is
she got 81 cents for them, which is the
highest price paid in the Sierra valley
for several years.
"She wouldn't take paper money
nothing but gold-and she carried it all
home with her and slowed it away in her
cabin. She has holy horror of banks,
and thinks they do little else but swindle.
Now, some people might think this girl
would be game for robbers. but she
wouldn't. have an idea it would be

and she does it, too, whenever the oc-

The Law OF Attraction.
Philadelphia Press: In minor matters
short men as rule prefer tall women,
while tall men admire little women. Dark
pairs by preference with far; the com.
monplace often runs after the original.
People have long noticed that this at
traction toward ones opposite tends to
keep true the standard OF the race; they
have not, perhaps, so generally observed
that 1t also indicates roughly the exist

chOlogy of falling in love. there are in
volved innumerable minor elements,
physical and mental, which strike us ex-
actly because of their absolute adapta-
ton to form with ourselves an adequate
union. Of course we do not definitely
seek out and discover such qualities; in
stinct works far more intuitively than
that; but we find at last. by subsequent
observation, how trustworthy were its
immediate indications. That is to say,
those men do so who are wise enough to
follow the earliest promptings of their
own hearts and not be ashamed of that
divinest and deepest of human institu-

How Women Lose Their Hight.
Women, especially those Of the upper
classes, who are not obliged to keep them
selves in condition by work, lose after
middle age-sometimes earlier-a con-
siderable amount of their hight not by
STOPPING, as men do, but by actual col
lapse, sinking down--mainly to be at.

the habitual and constant pressure of
stays and dependence upon the artificial
support by them afforded. Every girl
who wears stays that press upon these
muscles and restrict the free development
of the fibres that form them, relieving
them OF their natural duties of sup porting

ure OF health among women when the
vigor of youth passes away is but too
patent and but too commonly caused BY
this practice. Most women, from long
custom of wearing these stays, are really
unaware how much they are hampered
and restricted. A girl of twenty, intended
by nature to be one OF her finest specl-
mems, gravely assures one that her stays
are not tight, being exactly the same size
as those she was first put into. not per-
ceiving her condemnation In the fact that
she has grown five inches in height and
two in shoulder breadth. Her stays are
not too tight, because the constant pres.

Women as Ranch Owners.
